This topic is about configuration migration, such as migrating deployment managers and federated nodes in a network deployment environment. The Application Migration Toolkit for WebSphere Application Server provides support for migrating applications from previous versions of WebSphere Application Server to the latest product version. For information about migrating applications, read more about the Application Migration Toolkit.

For help, read Troubleshooting migration.

If your scenario includes migrating a WebSphere Application Server Application Server Version 6.x or 7.x configuration on one machine to Version 8.0 on another machine, use the alternate procedure described in Migrating to a Version 8.0 stand-alone application server on a remote machine.

Tip: Before migrating a WebSphere Application Server Version 6.x or 7.x stand-alone application server, use the backupConfig command or your own preferred backup utility to back up your existing configuration if you want to be able to restore it to its previous state after migration. Read the "backupConfig command" article in the information center for more information. Make sure that you note the exact name and location of this backed-up configuration.

Decide whether you want to migrate from WebSphere Application Server Application Server Version 6.x or 7.x to Version 8.0 using the Migration wizard or using the command-line migration tools.
